Celebrating the country lifestyle in all of its forms for more than 35 years, Harrowsmith Country Life here collects some of its most memorable articles and stories since the turn of the millennium, beautifully illustrated with 200 photos and drawings. Season by season, it offers entertaining information on gardening (rotating vegetable crops effectively and growing heritage vegetables and flowers), do-it-yourself projects (building nesting boxes to attract birds, building a dry stone fence), alternative energy (getting off the electricity grid), and livestock (working dogs and fall fairs), as well as recipes, country home restoration, and the pleasures and pitfalls encountered by people who have moved to the country.
